Zhirui Wang is a human made in Wuhan, China. He wasted his parents’ money on a BA in History, an MFA in Creative Writing, and now a PhD in Educational Foundations. He has worked as an electronic factory line worker, labor agent, teaching assistant, journal editor, and tutor for kids. His current research interests are Creative Writing Pedagogy and writing programs in Mainland China (if not denied by his advisor). He hopes the writing programs he is researching don’t die out before he finishes his dissertation, because otherwise he will be writing a eulogy to pay his condolences.
